I know, I know. I'm always the optimist. I was thinking/hoping that they would get my order right. I haven't touched my truck since early spring. I've bought a few more parts since then thinking that would motivate me to start back on it but it hasn't.  Don't worry though, I plan on getting back to it here shortly. Quote:
Good luck when you get ready to install them. Will this be your first tour to the sandbox?

Glad to hear from you. All is well here. Just trying to hang in there like everyone else. Hope all is well with you and your family. Any progress on your '69? Quote:
 Our little trip last night definitely helped light the fire again. Here are a few pics from a parts run last night with Alan. This guy had a few 67-72 truck's, including (not pictured) a slick, original, '68 short fleet 2wd with buddy buckets and original 327. He also had a few 64-66 trucks which included a pretty nice '66 panel. We planned to go back during the daytime so we could look around more and take some more pictures.

There's nothing like having to do the same work over again.  I bought some new drip rails a good while back to replace the rusty ones on my cab. They backordered the driver side and sent me the passenger one. So I installed it and moved on to the next project. Later on I finally received the driver's side drip rail and installed it. A little time had passed and one day while talking with Alan about wanting to add the rear cab trim I noticed that the drip rails ended in different locations. Basically, the driver's side rail was 1-5/8" shorter than the passenger side. So here I am grinding spot welds again so I can install the new, correct drip rail. Gotta love it.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Made a little progress this weekend.
Finished filling in the unecessary holes in the firewall.   I've been planning on painting the upper part of the cab white and adding the paint divider cab trim, but my cab didn't originally come with the cab trim studs, so I bought the replacement trim screws so I could add the trim. After talking with Alan he informed me that his stud gun came with the trim studs. So we used the weld on studs instead. Aftermarket trim screw and the weld on stud for comparision.  Cab before  and after  Starting to get on a roll. Stay tuned.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Hey Shannon, have you decided on an HVAC unit for your truck or are you goind with a stock setup? I'm leaning towards Vintage Air, but Old Air looks to be comprable.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
I bought a Vintage Air unit here a little while back. It's pretty slick unit that uses the original control ac/heater control. I unpacked it when it came to ohhh and ahhh over it then I packed it back up.
One of the board vendors matched an online price that I found w/free shipping. I believe that all of the brands are pretty comparable in performance and price. There are a few members who just installed the Gen IV unit that I have. Check out Crash_OK's build here in the 4x4 section and also HartRod's Suburban build. Here's Mark's build. Page 13 post #311 shows the unit installed http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=494599 The Superburb. Last page post #1258 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=200387 Edit: The vendor was Scott's Hot Rods
